A delightful space opera that introduces us to the quirky, rag-tag humans and members of other alien species that make up the crew of the Wayfarer, a civilian ship that bores interspatial tunnels. Becky Chambers interweaves the overarching story about a big, dangerous tunnelling job with scenes that gives us all the characters' backstories, including their diverse relationships, philosophies and secrets. A fun and super queer read.
